More Trdelnik - and a backstory

Here's a picture from my last day in Prague, when I should have been packing but instead headed back down to the Old Town Square to soak up more of the holiday cheer - and eat more Trdelnik. This version was also quite good (different location than last time) but I learned a valuable lesson - insist on the Trdelnik that they are taking right off of the flame, as compared to the ones that have cooled. They're both good, but the warm ones (like any freshly baked goody, I suppose) are over the top delicious. I'm also including a picture that tells the story - or, I suspect, one of the stories - of the Trdelnik.
